This is a thread to keep track of people who have successfully swapped out their black LTEVo for the white one. Obviously if you are within your first 14 days that is no problem but for those of use who aren't people this thread may shed some light on how to go about getting the white one.
I'm in my first 14 days

Ehh, I'd like to have the white one, but I think my only option is to sell this one and buy it. I hate the way the white version always comes out later.. Annoying as hell

Indeed.
I asked a rep at a store if it'd be possible. I didn't attempt.
They said maybe through repairs if the situation fit, retentions if you were desperate or a manager with pull, otherwise I'd have to be within the 14 day period.
Didn't expect the rep to say this much about it.

ill bite. maybe someone can elaborate. i tried swapping out today......in my 14 days, well 3 sprint stores, and a bestbuy, nobody has the damn thing!!! no white. only black. so how would i go about getting the white at this point? i called 1 800 number they said i could return to the store i got it from, and go through them. or i could return it, get refunded with a damn check, pay for the 10 days of service i have used, and restocking fee, then buy it when it hits the store? stupid imo!!! i dont know probably gonna just have to stick with the black? any ideas?

Wow, everyone in my region has it. I'd ask how soon the restock would be & then refund the phone if it's too close to the said day.
It all depends on how bad you want it.

I'm going to try the retention route and expressed how disappointed I am that I was not made aware that a one one would be released. I have been with sprint for 7 years always pay my bill on time and I never complain but this is an exception
Eh, was going to try, until I saw the white one in person, at the store.........
I prefer the original black one a LOT more, except for the stupid soft touch rubber on it.
Honestly its nothing special. They always cone out with the white one later.
You signed on early with the black one. Keep it.

You guys are the reason we are gonna be paying $300 on contract soon. Just keep your black Evo and swap with someone on Craigslist later. It's not that deep. Something so small can create a big mess sooner or later.

I have a black one and the vibration motor is loose and rattles every time I hit a key. I'm about 30 days into it, but I'm going to take it in this week and if I can get ta white one to replace it I will, but if not not no biggie. I don't know if they will swap me with a new one or give a refurb, but it's worth a shot.

But u have to tell them not to accept that update, because the guy was going to...I told him not to, and that I wanted to c a changelog first. So I'm golden!!! A success!

No need, this phone comes with a whole row of blue teeth, but they will come in an optional firmware update that turns one of your cameras into an x-ray camera.

F THAT! My wife has a friend who just happens to work for Sprint. she got her hands on the phone, her own, today! I played with it. the 24th can not come soon enough.
say what you want I have no pics to prove it but I wasn't going to spend my 5 minutes with it taking pictures. I wanted hands on time. personally 3D isn't bad I think people are expecting too much, more than anything. 3d Photo's are awesome. and the 1.2 dual core, and 1GB Ram. what is waiting? hands down butter smooth and fast. So responsive the phone moves as fast as you do at times, and you end up in places you aren't aiming for. I'll take that ANY day!
Ah I'm in love. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!! If you really take the 3D as an added feature, and take in everything in minus 3D it's everything you dreamed of. My wife wasn't as impressed 3D, but she also admitted she expected the 3D to be more "movie like". whatever. she thought everything else about it was great and she owns the shift.
Also I think sense 3.0 is sweet. granted I'm coming from a samsung moment so ANYTHING other than samsungs crap is better in my eyes, but think the lock screen features are great.
Not a review Just sayin' there is NO WAY I'm waiting a month.
alright now I need to get rid of my hard on.
And she's yelling at me for telling people about playing with her phone before she left the house. apparently I need to say bye and thank you.
Maybe they've been reading the reviews....
...for my EVO 3D and how much should I expect to get? This is a serious question, please don't turn this thread into a war zone.

I personally would never buy or sell anything on Craig's List. If you use "credible" places such as eBay, Amazon or KSL you get some protection. I hear more bad stories than good about Craig's list, more so with people who are buying though.

I've never experienced an issue using Craigslist as a marketplace. I prefer it over anything else actually since you get to meet the buyer/seller face to face and since it's local, there's no issues with shipping charges/scams.

The problem with CL is everyone always wants to low ball you with some sob story about how they're broke and really need a phone. Tell em they're selling Sprint Katanas on ebay for 17.50 shipped.

The title of your thread was "how much should I ask for on Craigslist..." so he helped you out with that. You don't need to know the "sold" price in order to know how much you should ask. No need to turn this thread into a war zone.
It looks like the asking prices are between 375 and 525 in your area. So the answer to your first question would be somewhere between those two numbers. The answer to your second question is likely going to be at most 375 (at least while people are selling the phone for that much). Deductive reasoning, while not perfect, can provide all the info you need.
Not sure if this helps but I got $250 for my Samsung epic just a few days ago.
I sold a EVO 3d on eBay for 630 after fees.. and said I'd ship it when I got it (23rd)
Tried to sell my other two on xda and Craigslist to avoid 40-60dollars in fees and couldn't get more than 400 for them that was about a week ago.. so I'd say post for 450 and watch the low ball offers come in

Don't be a dumb ass. All he was saying is go online and to see what people are asking. It wasn't really a dumb **** response as you say and is probably the best way to gauge how much you can sell it for in your area. Why not just take it back and get a full refund?

Probably one of those Nigerian scammers
You would be surprised to hear amount and volume of phones sold on CL.
I bought 3 BB fron a guy for 150 each and at the time, I needed 10 more. He was willing to split them for 90-100 each, if I bought all 10 together.
Also toldmr story of a guy who was selling him G2 (top of the line phone at the time) for like 100 bucks, and this dude would sell it for 450 bucks in turn. I am sure that G2 were stolen and haxored.
If you be careful and discrete in CL, it is not a bad place to get stuff.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Perfect condition, I would ask $475 but be prepared to sell it for $375-400. Anything more than that and people would probably just buy it new from the store where they have 30 days to return it, full support, etc. At least that has been my experience and what I would be like if I was in the market to buy your phone.
To all the negative Craigslist comments, I've bought several phones over the years and I've never had an issue. But...I fully test the phones out before I give them any money and with the one Sprint phone I bought, I made the person meet me at the store to make sure the phone was clean and could be activated. If you are a smart and informed shopper you don't get screwed nearly as easy. (and, now that I posted this, karma will probably kick me in the ass and the next phone I buy off CL will crumble into it's component pieces as soon as the seller leaves the parking lot. LOL)

I sell all my phones on Craigs list. Always offer to meet the buyer at a Sprint store so they can check the ESN for them.
It gives the buyer more confidence in the sale that you are not trying to rip them off........

Why is that dumb? That's the point of insurance, you pay the deductible to avoid paying 600 bucks for a brand new phone off contract.
The only other solution is to buy a digitizer and lcd off ebay and try to install it yourself. I wouldn't recommend it as you will probably spend close to 100 bucks anyway and nothing is guaranteed to work properly.
I personally would rather pay any amount of many than be given a refurb.
If I buy a new car that fails within a week, I wouldn't expect the dealer to replace it with a used car. May not be a perfect analogy but no way I'm paying almost $100/year, to then have to pay a deductible only to be mailed(slow) a refurb. Insurance is a scam.

I agree 100% with this and actually argued that very point with sprint one time and was able to get my account/contract reset so that I could purchase a new phone at the discounted new contract price. Took about 6 hours over 2 days on the phone with them. But worth the time to avoid the refurbished phone, deductible, etc. Of course I didn't drop it, but still.

If you buy a new phone that fails within 30 days, they give you a brand new replacement. After 30 days, your device is considered used.
And that doesn't even really apply to this case anyway, it wasn't a defect, the user dropped it.
your careless with your phone, and think Sprint should give you a free one? How about this, I buy your computer monitor from you, smash it against a wall, then demand you give me another one for free.

Order replacement glass on eBay for like $20 and fix it yourself. It's not hard at all, just make sure you use the proper tools, caution, some in depth research, and very descriptive tutorial (preferably a video with a step by step text description). Just look around Google, YouTube, RootzWiki, and XDA for more information. If you have any problems finding anything, feel free to PM me and I'll help out as best as I can. Maybe I'll write up a walkthrough for XDA when I have the time.

When did it get changed to 14 days? It was 30 days last year as far as I can remember. Damn Sprint....
Excuse me for thinking that if I buy "total equipment protection" (as they call it) I should be able to walk in and have it fixed. I guess I misunderstood the "total protection" part. This is my 3rd shooter (first 2 were defective) and I really just want a different phone.

Lol how did your break the glass? Did you play hockey with it Sorry...
That sucks man I have never broken the glass on my phone... Sometimes sprint may fix it or a 3rd party store like a sprint store not the main one like the one you went too... Some of the smaller stores may fix it for you.. Just gotta check around... I know some places replace the glass for 50 bucks lol beats 100 for a refurbished unit...
Doesn't cost too much if you know what your doing you can fix it your self... Tho if you have warranty on it I wouldn't pull it apart due to voiding your warranty...
Here is a link from the General section sticky thread. Instructions on how to replace the screen. Hit thanks if I helped.

That wasn't dumb, it was a correct answer. That's what u have to pay insurance for a broken phone. I can't see the pic but if its just the screen, my buddy got a screen replacement at a Sprint repair store for 50 bucks. And good luck with ascurion. Their reps are pathetic and rude

My 3D was stolen at work about 3 weeks ago. Filed an insurance claim with Sprint around 6PM the same day, woke up the next morning around noon (lol morning) and the FedEx guy was there with my phone. It was brand new in the box, not a refurb.
So,
1) Slow shipping? Took 18 hours from order to delivery
2) Refurb? This phone is still pretty new and wasn't an awesome seller, so there aren't a ton of refurbs in the warehouse, they normally just send out new phones
3) Always remember to keep your 3G data turned on, even if there is no connection, no telling when some asshole will walk by and yoink it.

Stressing out... Over a phone... Seriously?
And as stated when you posted in the wrong forum, people don't generally make custom ROMs for phones that they can't test their ROM on.
Be patient dude. Development is gonna explode in the next week or so when people start to get the device. Tons of great devs are coming over.

This phone has great specs. Get it. The iPhone is usually a little behind but over hyped. I didnt like the nexus because of the plastic feel and lower resolution screen
Aren't there more important things to lose sleep over?

I am betting he is making a joke based upon all the tardanic threads this forum has to offer and everyone seeming to get butt-hurt about the ship dates and the like. Then you have the constant, should I get this or wait crowd. The Sprint won't give me free stuff crowd. The I wish it had XXX feature group. This forum and many others are full of crybabies. It is a phone. It is only a few hundred dollars off contract. If a few hundred dollars off contract is a lot of money to you, you probably need to switch up your priorities and not buy expensive phones.
EDIT
If he wasn't, he needs to seek psychiatric treatment. Possibly be deemed a ward of the state too.
I'd say wait for the next iPhone.

Last year when i purchased my evo3d sprint was paying $125-$150 for my old evo plus giving $75-$85 per line on early extensions. When a company does something like that it will cause a person to sit back and wait for a good deal to come along. Good forums like this one, that pass these deals on, sometimes allow us to get a great phone for next to free. I'm still shopping for an evolte with the same money i used on my original evo. (I'm not a troll, I"m just cheap)

Actually i could do without the making calls part. Texting and phone calls are at the bottom of my list to do on a high end phone lol

I understand wanting to get a good deal. I just don't understand all the *****ing about it when Sprint tries to turn a profit. I only paid $125.00 for the LTE I ordered, I am sure my EVO 3D will sell for close to $200. I expense it, so it doesn't matter regardless. I bought my Treo 650 outright though for $650, at the time it was a great phone. It is just money, I'll make more.
Beware of the Shark_On_Land, he is a very well known troll in the Nexus S 4G forums -_____-
Yea, I checked out his other posts and topics.

LMAO! I thought I was bad
While I'm excited about this device, I'm still on Sprint's network in an area that didn't have WiMAX, let alone 4G.
So . . . I'm not willfully upgrading until Sprint gets LTE in my area. Then I'll ask myself that same question: new iPhone, new whatever Android, or new BlackBerry (heh, you never know -- they might come back with THE BOMB!!) . . . until then, my HTC E3D rooted, unlocked and unstocked will suffice.

So I like the name LTEVO for this phone. I've seen a few people use it throughout the forums and it seems to be a great nick name. Anyone agree?

There's a thread here devoted to nicknames, and the consensus was that people hated that name.

If you are serious.
It sounds like you like ROMs, right? Than means you like the whole development aspect of android phones. Then why the hell are you even considering a iphone?
I just can't fathom how somebody can't choose between one or the other.
If you want the status symbol and to be like everybody else, and you like to be spoon fed - go with the iPhone.
If you want something that is more than a phone, almost a hobby, something you can theme and Mod w/ bumps in the road - go Android (and this phone is the beast of Android right now).
If you like to tinker with the phone, go android. If you like things dumb'd down, go iphone.

So my Evo came in the mail today, after I canceled my order after hearing they were being held by customs. Sprint canceled my line, and is processing my refund, they said it should take around 6 days, which is 3 days from now. They must've just sent out all of the packaged Evos. Either way, I don't have a contract with Sprint, and I'm playing with the new Evo here! Anyone on the same boat as me?

When I canceled my Sprint order *slaps head* and went with Amazon instead, Sprint told me that in all likelihood they'll probably still ship me my phone. Wish they actually did this to me. I must have canceled it far enough out where they didn't.
I probably would have kept the phone and paid full price if they did.
So are you going to keep the Evo?

Yes, once it is all sorted out. Unless you got lucky and it just slipped through the cracks.

The exact same thing happened to me, and I am staring at this thing knowing it's too good to be true... I tried to find out where sprint covers this scenario in their terms and conditions but couldn't find anything. Also I didn't see any preorder cancellation policy. I'd assume they will find out.
I canceled my order just before the customs fiasco began, same day just a couple hours before the news got out. The girl who helped me said I needed to hold while she verifies the phone hasn't shipped, and she came back saying everything is done my order is canceled.

This is the reason that they stopped canceling preorders. Their system is messed up, and even if the order was canceled, the phone would ship. I'd say hold on to it for a while, see what happens

No, they are gonna take $600 from your bank for the phone that you accidentally didn't ship back to them, lol.

This is exactly what would seem to make sense, but it takes into assumption that they have the right to enforce it. Frankly, Sprint "should" have this right. But that has to be in writing for them to act, no? They must have authorization to withdraw funds from your account to initiate any charge. Without your express consent, they would need to prove that you agreed to terms that allow them to make further charges in given circumstances... i.e. unexpected circumstances causing errors regarding canceled preorders. Terms that hold me responsible, even if the error is neither Sprint's nor my own fault.
I'm not saying that I think this means is clearly have the right to keep the phone and Sprint is screwed because this is a unprecedented issue affecting a very narrow field of customers... and I'm prob gonna have to send it back. I'm saying that I'm trying to do my homework because I know they have to be able to back up taking action regardless if it's their fault or not that I still received it.
And so far, I haven't seen any clauses that this falls into... notice I said "so far" because this "should" be covered somewhere. I wish I knew someone who worked for sprint, like a cs manager or something who would know how this honestly works.

The honest thing to do would be to just call Sprint and ask them what they would like you to do with it. I would've refused the delivery from UPS in the first place...Okay I lie, so I would've probably opened it too.

If anyone was wondering, I got my 200$ back in my bank, I still have the Evo, and do not have a contract with Sprint. ESN is clean.

They most likely won't change your card but they can and will bill you for it and when you don't pay they can and will send it to a collection agent dinging your credit.

Agreed. I just saw a news story where 69k was deposited accidentally into some guys account. He spent most of the money and is now in for some serious felony charges. I'm not trying to be a Debbie downer or a sober Salley. But if you try to get away with this without 700 dollars in your account... I wish you the best of luck.
Sprint will just send your info to a collections company. Happend to me when I got a replacement razr with rogers. They sent me the replacement phone and didnt give me return instructions to send the borked phone back. Tried calling them about it and they told me, ''the matter has been forwarded to collections.''
